So I Jumped The Fence And Yelled To The House, Hey What Gives You The Right

A good friend of mine owns a fence building company and builds beautiful fences. Mainly residential, at times a commercial one comes along, and my favorite of all the tear downs. Some people have old fences that need to be torn down to have a nice new shiny one put in it's place. I occasionally stop by his house to say hi or let the kids play and occasionally he has a trailer full of old scrap wood. If this was cartoon you would see a lightbulb go on above my head. As soon as I see old barns, heaps of old wood waiting to get burned, or in most recent cases, trailers full of old wood I get all excited. I start thinking how can I use this again, re purpose it, rebirth it, re-whatever else I can re-create with it. I have built a few things lately out of reclaimed wood and I think it is my new favorite material to build with. Everyone that knows me knows I like modern design, but this old new wood gives a different look to the modern world of design. I love the clean lines of a room and then a haggard old re purposed piece of furniture or art that makes a statement. As for now a few projects are being finished and pics are soon to follow. Stay tuned as I am working as fast as I can.
